During the last decades, continuum mechanics of porous materials has achieved great attention, since it allows for the consideration of the volumetrically coupled behaviour of the solid matrix deformation and the pore-fluid flow. Naturally, applications of porous media models range from civil and environmental engineering, where, e. g., geote- nical problems like the consolidation problem are of great interest, via mechanical engineering, where, e. g., the description of sinter materials or polymeric and metallic foams is a typical problem, to chemical and biomechanical engineering, where, e....
